Seeing this, and these lines:

(II) NV(0): LCD2080UXi: Using default hsync range of 31.00-92.00 kHz
(II) NV(0): LCD2080UXi: Using default vrefresh range of 50.00-85.00 Hz
(II) NV(0): Clock range:  12.00 to 400.00 MHz


from your original Xorg.0.log posting, I wonder if the problem is the 
mismatch.

I would try changing the lines to match, or at least make sure the 
ranges in xorg.conf are within the ranges given by NV. This would mean 
making the lower HSync at least 31, and the lower vsync at least 50. You 
might even be able to comment those lines entirely, since your driver is 
properly finding the data from the monitor.
